Agile Coaches or Trainers

Since products were made, creators have worked hard to improve the development process—removing rules and steps that negatively affected it and adding those that improved it. Many creators and companies adopted the most successful development processes, known as frameworks. Popular frameworks include Scrum, Kanban, Lean, feature-driven development, extreme programming, dynamic systems development method, and test-driven development.

In February 2001, 17 software development and testing practitioners wrote the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. Agile was selected because it effectively conveyed the need for skill, speed, and flexibility in the development process. Later, in 2001, some of the manifesto’s authors and others interested in Agile development formed the Agile Alliance as a nonprofit organization to educate the world about Agile.

Over the past two decades, Agile software development has become extremely popular, and a need has developed for Agile coaches who could educate executives about this type of software development and teach the company’s employees how to integrate and adopt the philosophy into their work. In recent years, the Agile methodology has been increasingly adopted by non-tech employers, creating even more opportunities for Agile coaches.
